An absorption model to determine phytoplankton size classes from satellite ocean colour
TLDR
In this article, a model linking phytoplankton absorption to size classes (PSCs) was developed based on the observation that the absolute value of a ph (443) co-varies with the spectral slope of phytolankton absorbance in the range of 443-510 nm.About:

PISCES-v2: an ocean biogeochemical model for carbon and ecosystem studies
TL;DR: PISCES-v2 as mentioned in this paper is a biogeochemical model which simulates the lower trophic levels of marine ecosystems and the bio-ochemical cycles of carbon and of the main nutrients (P, N, Fe, and Si) and is intended to be used for both regional and global configurations at high or low spatial resolutions as well as for short-term (seasonal, interannual) and long-term analyses.

Phytoplankton class‐specific primary production in the world's oceans: Seasonal and interannual variability from satellite observations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied an innovative approach to time series data of surface chlorophyll from satellite observations with SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) to estimate the primary production associated with three major phytoplankton classes (micro-, nano-, and picophytoplanka) within the world's oceans.

TL;DR: Error-quantified, synoptic-scale relationships between chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and phytoplankton pigment groups at the sea surface are presented to show that a community shift of phy toplankon at the basin and global scales is reflected by a change in Chl- a of the total community.

A three-component model of phytoplankton size class for the Atlantic Ocean
Robert J. W. Brewin,Shubha Sathyendranath,Takafumi Hirata,Samantha Lavender,Rosa Barciela,Nick J. Hardman-Mountford +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-component model is developed which calculates the fractional contributions of three phytoplankton size classes (micro-, nano- and picoplankton) to the overall chlorophyll-a concentration in the Atlantic Ocean.

TL;DR: A synopsis of the current state of the art in the retrieval of core optical properties from satellite ocean color is presented and recommendations for future investment for upcoming missions whose instrument characteristics diverge sufficiently from heritage and existing sensors to warrant reassessing current approaches are made.

Vertical distribution of phytoplankton communities in open ocean: An assessment based on surface chlorophyll
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of using the near-surface chlorophyll a concentration (Chla) as it can be derived from ocean color observation, to infer the column-integrated phytoplankton biomass, its vertical distribution, and ultimately the community composition.

Assessment of the relationships between dominant cell size in natural phytoplankton communities and the spectral shape of the absorption coefficient
TL;DR: It was found that, in general, when phytoplankton abundance increases, larger sizeclasses are added incrementally to a background of smaller cells, such as pigment packaging and concentration of accessory pigments.
